Official Statement: Phantom FM off air

BrianD · 2003-05-21 12:21:54

In the light of recent ComReg action against radio stations in the Dublin area, Phantom FM have voluntarily ceased transmissions on our FM frequencies. We hope to resume full service as soon as possible.

Nah, that can be a good thing. The trick would be to say "We will provide an hourly news roundup appropriate to our listeners. Then the news would be full of things like "Good evening, here is the news.... Ozzy Osbourne has just released a new song that goes something likt this..." and play it?

Seriously, the news 'slot' vould be used to promote indie/Irish music projects that could do with the exposure.
